[Intro]
This is the story of a Black girl

[Verse 1: Rapsody]
Black, Black, Black (Black)
Black (Black)
Black, Black, Black
I love being Black, bustin' raps, the smell of flat irons and Blue Magic
Aluminium-foil plates, the pork chops and cabbage, that walk, that talk
Ain't I cool? (Ain't I cool?)
I love to fool with folks, bust jokes, laugh to keep from crying
Black death I hate, we keep dying, our love, we keep flying (Our love)
Defying gravity and odds, I love, we love God
Catch the Holy Ghost, grandma with the housecoat
Brothers on the corner go rope-side (Halleloo)
I cry for the Black moms that gotta bury they Black babies, they dads incarcerated
I pray, I pray, I pray we smile (Smile, smile)
Black gums, African drums, love we dancеd on beat
I love the brown on mе, chocolate babies, I love the Black family (I love, I love)
Electric slidin', I love we lean to the left when we drivin'
I love braids, breeze, medallions, and lace fronts
The bass drums, we back that thing up too vibin' (Vibe, vibe, vibe)
Ain't nothing but a Black thing (Ain't nothing but a Black thing)
I love the fight in us that still remains
I love we love through the pain, I love, I love, I love, I, I, I love
Being Black (I love, I love)
I love, I love
[Verse 2: Common]
Black, Black, Black to the futuristic
Choose your lipstick, we are colorful
I love being Black, we are loveable
With a flair like Clair Huxtable
There are no CliffsNotes to the experience from which we spit quotes
In big boats, we cross troubled waters
At times, I felt like a fatherless child
But I love my daughter
And now Pops is dead, a supporter from the eternal
In the ancestral plains, we fly high through the turbulence of the world
To once again find our future in a newborn girl
The future is thorough existence
Knowing we existed and will exist throughout the distance
Who run the world? Who run the world?
Who run the heavenly domains?
The windows of Heaven are open and there is no pain
Just a majestic land with Black feet, Black hearts, and Black souls
So I say one love because we are chosen ones
